December 15, 2020 (LifeSiteNews<\/a>) \u2014 Brandy Vaughan, a former sales executive for the pharmaceutical company Merck and the founder of learntherisk.org, a website dedicated to educating people on the risks associated with vaccines, was apparently found dead by her nine-year-old son on December 8.<\/p>\n

According to<\/a>\u00a0Children\u2019s Health Defense, Vaughan is reported to have died of \u201cgallbladder complications,\u201d although the source of the report has not been cited, nor has it shared the specific cause of the complications (such as a gallbladder rupture).<\/p>\n

Soon after learning of her death, a friend of Vaughn\u2019s, Erin Elizabeth,\u00a0shared screenshots<\/a> of a Facebook post Vaughan had written in December of 2019, in which she assured readers that she was not suicidal and did not take any drugs that would cause her to die suddenly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe post I wish I didn\u2019t have to write…. But given certain tragedies over the last couple of years, I feel it\u2019s absolutely necessary to post these ten facts\u2026 please screenshot this for the record,\u201d wrote Vaughan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a huge mission in this life. Even when they make it very difficult and scary, I would NEVER take my own life. Period,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Referring to her son, Vaughan wrote, \u201cBastien means everything to me and I would NEVER leave him. Period. She added that she hadn\u2019t taken pharmaceuticals for ten years. \u201cIn other words, I\u2019m not on anything that could kill me unexpectedly or suddenly,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf something were to happen to me, it\u2019s foul play and you know exactly who and why \u2014 given my work and mission in this life,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Vaccine safety has come under scrutiny during the coronavirus outbreak, with pro-lifers expressing concern about the connection of vaccines to abortion, among other concerns.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth also shared a screenshot of a text she received from Vaughan in which she expressed worry about being poisoned and apparently referenced the\u00a0death<\/a>\u00a0of Dr. Ben Johnson, M.D., D.O., NMD in January of 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo odd! I worry sometimes about poisoning. Was Dr. Ben ever married? Lived alone? Sorry for all the questions. I\u2019m just so upset about this, especially since he wasn\u2019t even taking on the vaccine issue but mammograms, which one would think was a \u2018safer\u2019 issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vaughan, who used to work as a pharmaceutical sales representative for Merck,\u00a0explained<\/a>\u00a0how she got started as an activist exposing the dangers of vaccines and pharmaceutical industry in a video shared in 2015. She begins by revealing that she used to represent Merck\u2019s drug Vioxx.<\/p>\n
